The Election: Winners and Losers – Buz Blog

One of the reasons people hate politics is that truth is rarely a politician’s objective. Election and power are.” – Cal Thomas

As I write this column, the day after the general election, most of the results have been determined. A few of the House of Representative and Senate races have to be counted for the results to be finalized. The consensus is that the Republicans have taken a majority in the Senate and are likely to keep a small majority in the House. This historic election has brought about a host of winners and losers, not just candidates, but ideas, policies, strategies and moral tenants.

On the national level, the Republicans are the big winners. The Democrats are the big losers. Not only did the Republican slate win the Electoral votes, but it looks like they will win the popular vote. Donald Trump and J.D. Vance are President and Vice President elect. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are soon to be unemployed and Tim Walz will return as governor of Minnesota to see what other woke policies he can implement to further the decline of that state.

The Losing Strategy

The Harris and Walz strategy was to speak in broad generalities and never directly address the problems the American people were facing. Harris was reluctant to even make statements to a very friendly media. She rarely articulated her policies, and the one time she did with her wretched idea of wanting to tax unrealized capital gains, her own supporters rejected the idea. Harris refused to say how she would stop high inflation, correct the border crisis, or reduce the high crime rate. She refused to acknowledge that the Biden/Harris administration was the cause of these problems or how she would fix them. She refused to admit that she flip flopped on numerous issues. She inexplicably blamed all of our problems on Trump.

Another facet of their plan was to attempt to instill fear in the voters. Kamala Harris, Tim Walz and their surrogates claimed that Trump would “destroy our democracy.” That he would be a dictator who would throw out our Constitution. That Trump supporters were fascists. They never explained why Trump didn’t commit all these atrocities when he was president the first time. The Democrats were making these accusations while they were using the power of the government to suppress free speech on social media and subverting the rule of law by prosecuting their political opponents.

The Winning Strategy

The Republican strategy was that of addressing the voters’ main concerns of the border crisis, illegal immigration, inflation, weak foreign policy and high crime. The major part of the strategy was that Trump and Vance answered questions about those issues. Both of them went on news programs, podcasts and town halls. Trump and Vance went into what some would think were hostile environments and responded to antagonistic questions. They weren’t afraid of the public, they embraced them.

The Losing Morality

The morally bankrupt Democrat party began attacking Donald Trump and his political allies when they realized he was a threat to their power and the administrative state that they, themselves, represent. When he began to run for the Presidency again, the Democrat power structure redoubled their efforts. They used criminal indictments and civil lawsuits in an attempt to emasculate Trump, his campaign and his allies. They continued with their provoking rhetoric about Trump being the new Hitler who would destroy democracy and our Constitution. A reasonable assumption is that the far left’s intent was to incite one of their many unstable supporters to assassinate Trump. They were successful in getting two of their deranged followers to make the attempt. Their moral compass was so askew that they were willing to try any means necessary to prevent a Trump election.

The Winning Morality

In every instance, the moral thing to do is to stand up to evil, whenever and where ever it is encountered. That is exactly what Trump did. He fought the criminal charges and lawsuits. Not only that, but he continued to campaign. Moral and physical strength, perseverance and a sense of righteousness, won the day. Thank God, Donald Trump had the monetary assets to afford the legal expertise to continue this fight. A majority of the American people were able to see the danger of a political party using the power of the government to attack their political foes. The people saw that the Democrats were trying to bankrupt and convict Trump, not for any wrongdoing, but for their political advantage. By not backing down and standing strong, Americans saw that moral strength and courage of a statesman. This impression was only increased when Trump was nearly assassinated in July and he stood up, blood running down his face, fist raised, yelling, “Fight, fight, fight”.

The Big Losers

The mainstream, legacy, corporate media: with their ratings among the public the lowest they have ever been, the reason is obvious. They have become the Pravda-like mouthpiece for the Democrat party. For more than half a century, the media has leaned left. For the last couple of decades, they have promulgated exaggerations, out of context quotes, and flat out lies about conservatives. With Trump, they have developed this to an art form. They have covered up Biden corruption, Hunter’s laptop and Hilary Clinton’s destroying evidence and violating security laws on her cellphone and computers. They have promoted the fallacy that Trump is a White supremacist by misquoting his Charlottesville statement about there being “good people” on both sides. They pushed the lie that Trump said that drinking bleach would cure COVID, or that he said that soldiers were suckers. Very few Americans will believe anything these propagandists put out anymore, unless they reform themselves.

Lawfare: it not only didn’t work, it backfired on them. Instead of ruining Trump and his campaign, it strengthened his popularity, and hopefully, ruined the legal careers of those who promoted it.

The Democrat Party: with the party’s turn to the far left, Marxist, globalist school of thought, they have turned off most of the country. If Democrats expect to stay a viable part of the American political fabric, they will need to repudiate the far leftists and move back to the center.

Woke and DEI philosophy: our countrymen inherently know that men are not women and vice versa, no matter what an individual may declare. They know that it is wrong to let men compete in women’s sports. Americans know that it is idiotic to encourage people to use inappropriate pronouns just to bend to the will of a few psychotic persons. Instinctively, we know that hiring, enrolling and promoting individuals should be based on that person’s qualifications, not to fill a “social justice” requirement, or a diversity look.

The Big Winners

Truth, Common Sense, Trump/Vance, the Republican Party and the American people.

  1. Yes in deed Buz. All facts here. It may sound funny but I believe Makala Harris “helped” Trump win and gain the highly ranked popular vote of all voters nationally. Hopefully the path to a more prosperous future can pass the House of Representatives but that involves RINOs who are tied to the Washington lobbyists money tree. If Trump and “A” Republican leader in both the house and senate will work well together; all Trump promised will happen. Let us Pray it will not be business usual in congress next year
